Rear lift configured as a Block Kit With Factory Overload — steel lift blocks designed for trucks equipped with top-mounted overload springs above the main leaf pack. Paired with FOX 2.0 Performance Series shocks featuring a 2-inch impact extruded aluminum body, internal floating piston (IFP) monotube design, CNC machined 6061-T6 aluminum mounting ends, massive 5/8-inch hard chrome plated heat-treated alloy steel shaft, race-developed high-flow piston design, and application-specific valving for maximum on- and off-road performance.
Overview
This 6-inch radius arm lift kit from BDS Suspension is designed for 2008–2010 Ford Super Duty F250 and F350 gas-powered 4WD trucks, providing clearance for up to 37-inch tires while improving stance, performance, and capability. Up front, the kit includes gas-specific 6-inch Pro-Ride coil springs, heavy-duty tubular replacement radius arms, a forged drop pitman arm, a track bar bracket for steering correction, sway bar relocation hardware, brake line brackets, and custom-tuned nitrogen charged shocks. The rear utilizes high-strength steel lift blocks, longer U-bolts, brake line brackets, and a matching set of shocks.

Important Notes
- Removal of the factory block is required.
- Installation of the rear block kit will result in a "pre-runner" look with the rear of the vehicle 2 inches lower than the front. To achieve a level stance, you must upgrade to the rear leaf spring option.
- These trucks were manufactured with and without top-mounted overload springs on the rear leaf springs. A top-mounted overload is an extra leaf separate from the pack that sits above the main leaf. You will need to identify which configuration your vehicle has before ordering.
- If your vehicle is equipped with a carrier bearing, you will need to order part #123402 in the options section.
- Although extremely rare, front driveline vibration may occur.
- Front exhaust modification may be required to clear the front driveshaft on gas models.
- U-bolts will not fit dually models.
- Dropped pitman arm will not fit 10-lug wide track F350 models.
